First off, I never used their Java client since I figured it was scrubbing for passwords or something. I did post my referral link on here as a sort of joke many months ago, and now it's saying I have:
Total Balance $9.98
38 direct referrals, 12 'level 2' referrals, and 1 'level 3 referral'.
I had to LoL at this:
Information Releases
BitCoin / CrytoCoin Completely Self-Destruct02/26/2014 With the total collapse of MtGox, the largest trader in Bitcoin, it is all done except for the shouting; Crypto-Currency is dead.Anyone who attempted to use BTC in the past as any type of currency already knew is was completely useless as a means of trade; worth $50 today, $1200 tomorrow.Good Riddance. Now if all the smaller outlets would simply do the right thing and realize that they are now meaningless, and they should lay down and die.Needless to say, IPU Services will not accept any form of Crypto Currency.
...
but, uh, this place is BS, right? *scratch*
I mean, according to their "balance sheet" @
http://www.ipuservices.com/12.31%20bal.pdfThey claim to have $2,550 in Mt. Gox (*cough*) and even if we were to trust these figures, the random amounts to various shady currency exchanges as well as the "$123,300.00 Undeposited" amount (wtf is it under a mattress or something?) It claims to have damn near zero expenses, and, well, too much income for some place with a PoS website that nobody's ever heard of w/ no apparent clientele.
I wouldn't recommend using their, uh, "idle processing power" using application, but signing up probably isn't too harmful, as long as you use unique passwords.
If you want to check it out, it's at

... *or* if you want to be a Super Nice Person and make me more imaginary Zimbabwean dollars, you can use my referral link at
www.ipuservices.com/user/signup/?referred_by=IPU077019 (temptation too great, hoho). It might be beneficial if I wasted $150 on a division manager spot, I really have no clue. It does give me a few imaginary pennies.
I did a bit more research & apparently there was some "semi-legit" company called "Digital Generation" that did something similar and actually did issue a few payouts before stopping (?).
Some junk at:
https://www.google.com/#q=%22ipu+services%22+%22digital+generation%22&start=0But it's hard to find anything of value, since you'll mostly just find a bunch of disguised referral links (or worse -- exercise caution if you navigate those results, hah).
